Homage to Wanderlei Silva at Curitiba

[DT]

The champion Wanderlei Silva yesterday received a homage from the City council of Curitiba, in the Rio Branco Palace. The title of Vulto Emérito (proeminent person) was received by Wanderlei from the hands of the councilman Luiz Braga Cortes, in recognition to the work of the fighter, who each time more divulges and represents the city in the country and the exterior.

Silva in a suit, wow! He has really been high profile and receiving alot of positive publicity in Brazil ever since the GP victory. I wonder if we might see him run for some type of public office ala Crocop even if its more honorary than truly an office of public service?

I'll say it again, with his GP victory, all of these honors and his body starting to show wear and tear, Silva is at or just past the very peak of his career. Not that he can't still have impressive wins, but its going to be hard to top the pinnacle he is standing on right now.

His smile is so damn goofy....

:lol:

His jowls are quite big which is making it difficult for him to smile normally.
Probably due to hypertrophy of the masseter.

Forgot to add, its a good thing that a prize fighter can be honored.
